Dear Madam

I request you to advise me on the worry about the coming annual examination. Every day this worry is increasing due to parental pressure etc. I am getting confused and disillusioned. This has resulted in having a serious effect on my memory. The more I read, the more I get confused and frustrated. I tend to forget what I had read a few days ! before, as the worry about the annual examination is always with me. This has also resulted in creating a secret kind of fear in me. As a result, I fail to make friends. Many a time, I fail to concentrate on my lessons. It is not that I am very weak in my studies. But I don’t feel light in my work due to one reason or the other like the holiday homework, Keeping the important things in mind becomes somewhat difficult. You may call it the ‘examination terror’.

I would request you to help me fight this worry,

Thanking you
Yours sincerely
